Background

Leng Yaozhu is the Phoenix Family's matriarch and a central figure in the Spirit Pagoda's Tian Feng lineage. Although she was already over ninety when introduced, her cultivation preserved a youthful appearance. She recognized that the Spirit Pagoda's two-millennia balance was failing amid factional conflict, Federation pressure, and external threats. 14

As a direct rival family to the Qian Gu line, the Phoenix Family endured suppression under Qian Gu Dong Feng. Qian Gu Qing Feng asked Leng Yaozhu to accept Nan Liujing as a disciple, both to cultivate his potential and to make him a stabilizing link between the Leng and Qian Gu families. She initially allowed Zhen Hua to train him in forging for two and a half years before assuming responsibility for his broader development. 14 29

Her early feelings for Yun Ming remained unresolved for decades, though she later regarded them as a lingering attachment from youth rather than a future she could pursue. 39 Her more painful personal burden was Leng Yulai, her younger sister, whose descent into the Holy Spirit Cult repeatedly forced Yaozhu to choose between family affection and duty. 58 154

Appearance

Leng Yaozhu is a tall, mature woman with a glamorous but dignified presence. Her appearance remains striking despite her age, and she is widely regarded as the Spirit Pagoda's greatest beauty. 14 142

• Approximately 1.78 meters tall, with a slender yet voluptuous build. 14
• Long fiery-red hair, commonly compared to flames or maple leaves. 14 188
• Wine-red eyes with a faint amber luster. 14
• A beauty mark at the corner of one eye, giving her gentle features a colder, alluring edge. 14
• Frequently wears red, dark red, or black dresses; she also keeps a poorly made black cloth bracelet connected to her sister. 28 31

Personality

Leng Yaozhu is composed, strategic, and strongly protective of those under her care. As a Phoenix Family leader, she weighs political consequences carefully and is willing to negotiate with rival factions when doing so protects her family and the Spirit Pagoda. 14

She is especially attentive to Nan Liujing's cultivation, safety, and future. Her protection can be uncompromising: she supported his choice of the destruction-attribute soul bone trial, defended him during the Spirit Pagoda succession struggle, and rushed into the Forbidden Zone when he was taken by the Life Ancient Tree. 46 211 220

Her greatest emotional weakness is Leng Yulai. Despite knowing her sister became an Evil Soul Master and endangered Nan Liujing, Yaozhu struggled to abandon their bond. Nan Liujing's support gradually helped her separate guilt over Yulai's crimes from her own responsibilities. 61 154 227
